The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen
Chapter 54: There is still a glimmer of hope for the eyes
Wang Xinyao woke up early in the morning for the free clinic. After breakfast, Zhao Haoxuan took Chen Jingyuan, Xie Erhua, and Xie Xiaohua to the backyard to continue practicing, while Xie Dahua helped in the front yard.
By this time, Xie Dahua had become familiar with many medicinal herbs and could mix most any prescription she had. She expertly arranged the tables, chairs, utensils, and herbs needed for the free clinic.
At this time, some villagers came to the yard. The young and strong ones had all gone to work, and most of those who came to see the doctor were elderly people and children.
Wang Xinyao patiently diagnosed and treated each patient. One child, whose face was as red as a ripe apple, was coughing incessantly, leaving his mother in tears. After a careful examination, Wang Xinyao discovered lung heat. She prescribed some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs, gently comforting him, "Sister-in-law Xiaozhu, don't worry. As long as he takes his medicine regularly, this little one will be back to full health soon."
Hearing Wang Xinyao's words, Xie Xiaozhu's wife felt relieved and immediately pulled her son to the ground and knelt: "Thank you, Sister Xinyao, you are our family's great benefactor! If it weren't for you, my Shuiwa would have been in great danger. Shuiwa, come on, kowtow to Aunt Xinyao!"
"Sister-in-law, please get up quickly. Don't be like this. As long as the child is safe, take him back to boil medicine!" Wang Xinyao hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xie Xiaozhu's wife and their child up.
After Xie Xiaozhu's wife left, Wang Xinyao stopped what she was doing and said to everyone with a smile, "We are all from Xiejia Village. Helping you is what I enjoy doing most. So, there's no need for you to express your gratitude with such grand gestures. Doing so would only waste my time. Don't you agree?"
Everyone was grateful and nodded frequently.
At this time, the white-haired old man with two sons whom Wang Xinyao had met before came to Wang Xinyao's yard. He was holding his stomach, his face full of pain, like an old tree ravaged by the wind.
Wang Xinyao quickly invited him to sit down. After careful questioning and a thorough examination, she discovered that the old man's discomfort was caused by eating spoiled food. She prescribed some gastrointestinal remedies and gently advised, "Grandpa Liu, please never eat spoiled food again. Now that our family has a stable income, we won't have to go hungry anymore. So, rest assured!"
"Thank you, Xinyao, I'll remember it. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble!" Old man Liu said with an apologetic smile!
The free clinic continued, and the elderly man's problem was joint pain, making walking difficult. Wang Xinyao performed acupuncture on him. The elderly man's forehead was sweating with nervousness, so Wang Xinyao gently talked to him to distract him. After the acupuncture, Wang Xinyao repeatedly reminded him to keep warm.
Just when Wang Xinyao was busy, Mrs. Xie suddenly rushed into the yard. She cut in line without any reason and walked straight in front of Wang Xinyao. Then she said arrogantly: "Wang Xinyao, let me see too!"
"Line up at the back!" Wang Xinyao frowned and said sternly!
Hearing this, Mrs. Xie flew into a rage. She yelled at the top of her voice, "I'm your mother-in-law. Why should I wait in line?"
"Liu Jinhua, have I given you any respect? There's nothing between you and me. Dad has already said that Xie Aniu and I were never married. Besides, we've already written a letter of severance. How can you be my mother-in-law?" Wang Xinyao also raised her voice and angrily said, "Don't waste everyone's time here. If you want me to show you, go get in line at the back!"
Hearing Wang Xinyao say this, the people in the queue behind her also became anxious: "That's right, Mrs. Xie, please go to the back of the queue quickly, we are still waiting to see the doctor!"
"You..." Mrs. Xie was so angry that she couldn't speak, but seeing that everyone was glaring at her, she had no choice but to walk to the back of the team in shame.
Wang Xinyao continued to work hard, treating each patient carefully. The next patient was Xie Mazi's mother, He. Because she couldn't see well, Xie Mazi's son supported her.
"Auntie, please sit down!" He's actual age is not that old. At most, she is only three or four years older than Mrs. Xie, but she looks much older than Mrs. Xie!
Wang Xinyao began to feel her pulse, then asked, "Auntie, you weren't born blind, were you?"
He nodded. Her hollow eyes seemed expressionless, yet she seemed to be reminiscing. "That winter, the harvest was very poor, and we had nothing to eat. The father took my son to the mountains to hunt for game, but they unexpectedly encountered wolves. When Ah Niu found them, only some bones and their clothes were left in the forest! It was also from that time that I lost my sight! My blindness isn't a big deal for me, but it has become a burden to my son and grandson!"
He's eyes were still empty, and her face was expressionless, as if she was describing someone else's story. Some of the people around her had red eyes, and some even started to cry, because similar situations were not limited to the He family!
Wang Xinyao felt bad at the moment. Life was truly difficult for people in this era! She carefully examined He again. To be honest, before yesterday, she would have had no way to save her eyes. But after receiving the Nine Nine Returning One Needle Technique as a reward in the ring space, she was able to save He's eyes.
"Auntie, there is still a glimmer of hope for your eye. I will give you acupuncture right away!" After saying that, Wang Xinyao took out the eighty-one silver needles from her pocket.
"Her eyes can be saved? How is that possible? She has been blind for more than ten years!" There were exclamations of disbelief from the crowd.
Wang Xinyao ignored the doubts of others and inserted the silver needle into the acupuncture points on He's head with her hands as fast as the wind.
As time passed slowly, He's originally lifeless eyes gradually showed some signs of blurring.
"Xinyao, Xinyao, I can vaguely see a shadow!" He's excited cry was like a thunderclap, exploding in the silent atmosphere. In more than ten years, this was the first time she had shown such a rich expression.
Everyone present was dumbfounded; they witnessed the birth of this miracle with their own eyes.
Wang Xinyao raised her lips slightly and said softly, "Aunt, I'll prescribe some medicine for you. After a period of recuperation, your eyes will slowly recover."
He was filled with gratitude. Finally, she could live like a normal person. Finally, she could see with her own eyes what her grandson looked like.
After a long busy period, it was finally Mrs. Xie's turn. Mrs. Xie looked at Wang Xinyao with resentment and said, "Can you show me now?"
Wang Xinyao didn't bother to argue with her and started taking her pulse. Then she said, "You're generally healthy, but you've been getting a sore throat lately. You should stick to a light diet from now on! Also, pay attention to your personal hygiene. I'll prescribe some herbs from Dahua and wash your face every night!"
"Am I really not sick?" Mrs. Xie asked Wang Xinyao in disbelief!
"You're not sick! If you insist on saying that you are sick, it's because you don't like to be clean. The itch will go away after washing! Go away quickly and don't waste my time!" Wang Xinyao was a little impatient. She was really tired after being busy all day!
Bursts of laughter came from the crowd, and Mrs. Xie's face turned ashen in an instant, like an eggplant hit by frost!
After seeing the last patient, Wang Xinyao and Xie Dahua finally came to an end this long and tiring day of free clinics. They packed up their things and dragged their heavy bodies back to the house.
Zhao Haoxuan had already prepared the meal. He carefully carried a bowl of steaming hot soup to Wang Xinyao, as if holding a precious treasure. "Xinyao, you must be exhausted! Drink this bowl of soup!"
How could Wang Xinyao's heart not flutter like a deer and become more and more attracted to such an outstanding and considerate man?
At this moment, the mechanized voice sounded again: "Congratulations host, the host has a heart of great love. Today's love value is full, and ten kindness points have been obtained. The door of the pyramid is officially opened!"
A pyramid? Could it be a sacred object as mysterious and precious as the spiritual spring water? At this moment, Wang Xinyao's heart could no longer calm down. However, she was too tired today. She decided to wait until she had time to enter the space and explore it!
A few days later, in the capital.
Luo Qing came to the backyard of the palace with a bag of python meat wrapped in ice and asked to see the empress dowager.
"Aunt Imperial, are you doing well these days? I miss you so much!" Luo Qing knelt down to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was elegant, with a kind face and a gentle expression. Seeing the person kneeling below, she immediately said, "Qing'er is back! I haven't seen you for a long time. Come here quickly so I can take a good look at you."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qing hurried forward, took out a small bag of chestnuts from his pocket, and respectfully handed it over, saying, "Grandma Imperial Aunt, I stumbled upon this outside and rushed back to the capital to bring it to you as a gift."
"Haha, thank you, Qing'er. Our Qing'er has grown up and actually knows how to respect the Imperial Aunt!" The Empress Dowager said gently, "Look at this girl, she's grown a little taller, but her face is indeed a little thinner than before. I'll talk to the Emperor later and ask him to issue an order to bring you back. It's been so long, and he should have calmed down. You're all alone in such a remote place, and the Imperial Aunt really misses you!"
Hearing that he was going to be sent back to the capital, Luo Qing was extremely anxious. Where would he get to eat chestnuts and stir-fried mushrooms? He quickly said, "Don't worry, my cousin the Crown Prince is not in the capital, and I really don't want to go back. I'm living a good life in Nanhu County, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the people are simple and kind. Please rest assured, my cousin, I'm doing fine there."
"Prince, my Xuan'er, where are you?" The Empress Dowager's eyes were slightly red!
